Have you ever been in a situation and realized it wasn’t the right one for you?

Did you stay in that situation?

Are you still there?? Me too!

Building an Independent Life

3 August 2019 - Wes Family, Journey, Life, The Work
I can see my independent life just as you can see the sun light shining through the trees of a forest.

I want a life that is independent. I want to do life with others and help people. And I want the autonomy to choose what I do each day.

Start Something

Person stands on a cliff, overlooking a chasm at sunrise.

I’ve spent my entire life trying not to upset people. Always putting the comfort of an interaction above all else. And now? I’m on the cusp of pushing through that barrier.

This time around, I had that enlightened feeling and easy-going vibe throughout the beginning posts. In the end, this lightness would not last.

Flowers with color editing focused on reds and shadows and leaves turned to a blue-ish hue in the background.

Today, I turned 42. The sound, the look, the mathematical relationship between the numbers, its billing as the answer to the ultimate question, I like 42.

Children's writings and drawings in different color marker on part of a whiteboard.

Today is my 42nd birthday. Yesterday, 3 adorable children and a lovely wife came to my office and surprised me with balloons, candy, and their presence!

Have you really thought about butter “flavor”? Not butter. Butter “flavor”. This topic takes me back about 22 years. I was standing in line at PC Dukes…

Scene: 3 men in a Mexican condo, in Playa del Carmen. A note above each toilet reads: “toilet paper goes in the trash can, not the toilet.” ????

Sunset just over silhouetted mountains. The sky is rich with indigo and pale orange.

I’ve sat down most of my 8 hour work days for as long as I’ve been working. And for most of that time, I’ve had office equipment envy.

The outside entrance to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado.

Today’s items have a theme: we went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (DMNS) yesterday! And the kids showed me their favorite exhibits.

I am just like you and also different in lots of ways but still so similar. I have hopes and dreams and reality often tries to sidetrack those things. So I am pushing against what is normal (to me) and doing my best to teach my kids and each other how to pursue what excites us and makes us come alive. The world needs more people living, not just existing.
